To era Patrons 



RNDUCED BY A CONSTANT DEMAND for our\ 
Customers who have our Chart, and from ladies knowing' 
cut by our Patent Self-fitting Waist and Shoulder Chart" 
^resenting to the Public for the first time, a Catalogue of a few desigi 
Patterns we are prepared to furnish. These Patterns are cut by oui 
CHART, therefore are perfectly proportioned in every particular; and 
produce a perfect fitting garment the first time, it is tried on. 

To those familiar with the great worth of our Self-fitting Chart, little nee( 
and to those unacquainted with its merits we would say, inquire of those who have^ 
it and try our Seli-fitting Patterns which are a direct production of it, they needing 01 
to be known to be appreciated. 



f 



OORNWELL'S SELF-FITTING CHART AND PATTERNS STAND 
TO-DAY UNRIVALLED BEFORE THE WORLD, 

defying competition. Our Patterns as well as Chart, comprise different Shoulder 
Measurements, by which any Shoulder, high, low, square or sloping, can be thus 
accurately fitted. Our method of ascertaining by substracting the waist measure from 
the bust measure — the size and shape of the darts necessary to make a garment fit 
perfectly is absolutely correct mathematically as well as practically; it is the only 
System in the world that will produce a perfect fitting dress. 

This principle with the shoulder measure is secured to us by letters patent. Our 
Patterns are constantly increasing in variety and besides being new and of the very 
latest styles are far superior to all others. Many of them excel in the " make up " 
the cuts which represent them. We call special attention to our Gents' Shirt Patterns 
and to our Polonaise and Basques which are unsurpassed in America for style and beauty. 

Each separate part is cut with such exactness, that the whole when brought together 
fits perfectly Our Patterns are made of paper more than three times the thickness 
and value of that used by other establishments. 

They are of different sizes, so that any one can obtain a suitable Pattern requiring 
no alteration. On each Pattern is printed our trade-mark cut of Measurement, 
together with the size, amount of material, trimming, &c, required, directions for cutting 
and making, the picture of the garment, and the mode of taking the measurements. 



Take the Bust Measure loosely over a close fitting waist well supplied with 
artificial fullness, if any is intended to be worn. 

Take the Shoulder Measure from the top of the neck band down the shoulder 
to the hollow. This hollow can be easily found by slightly raising the arm. 

Take the Waist Measure tight, take the length of waist on the seam under 
the arm. See measurement cut. 

Take Exact Measures for all garments, as due allowance for loose-fitting and 
over garments is made in the Patterns themselves. 

For Men's and Boy's Garments, measure over the vest. 

For Pants, get the size of the waist and the length of the leg. 

For Shirts, get the chest and shoulder measure and the size of the paper collar 

WORN. 

Any of the Patterns specified in the within Catalogue can be procured of our 
Agents, or they will be sent by us post-paid, on receipt of price. 

When cutting the cloth, pay no attention to the grain of the paper or the folds in the pattern. 

Address, WILLETT CORN WELL,
